Innovation > Food & Drink > Twitter-powered truck sells ice-cream sandwiches TWITTER-POWERED TRUCK SELLS ICE-CREAM SANDWICHES FOOD & DRINK There’s a new truck roaming the streets of LA—just in time for summer—and it’s being followed by legions of devotees who track its whereabouts via Twitter. It’s not Korean barbecue tacos on the menu this time, however—rather, it’s gourmet ice cream sandwiches. Much in the manner of Kogi Korean BBQ, which we covered earlier this year, Coolhaus sells handmade ice cream sandwiches from a pink and chrome converted postal jeep. Featuring local and organic ingredients whenever possible, Coolhaus sandwiches are 2-by-2-inch confections, about 1 inch deep, assembled to order using two cookies and a scoop of ice cream. Five architecture-inspired, “prefab” ﬂavours are currently available from Coolhaus’s two-woman team (for example: the Frank Behry, made from sugar cookies and strawberry ice cream; the Mies Vanilla Rohe features chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream), but customization is also possible, they say. The sandwiches are also available with an edible, rice-paper wrapping that can feature a brand, name or logo in edible ink. Pricing is about USD 3 per sandwich, or USD 3.50 with the edible wrapper, according to LAist. In addition to broadcasting information about its whereabouts via Twitter (@coolhaus), Coolhaus actually partners with Kogi in Venice on Saturdays, LAist reported; coming soon from its truck are edible spoons and popsicles shaped like famous buildings. Have we ever mentioned that everything can be upgraded? Well here it is again! Both Kogi and Coolhaus are perfect examples. Then of course there’s the fact that recessions tend to make people value little luxuries more. What’s next? How about mobile restaurant rows, like the one at Dwell on Design ’09 two days ago, which included the new Sprinklesmobile alongside Coolhaus, Kogi and others.

Startup Spotlight™
Startup Spotlight™ Coolhaus Ice Cream ProInfluence Startup Spotlight™: Episode #11 Startup Spotlight™ features innovative, consumer-based startup companies and their passionate founders. Coolhaus Natasha Case, CEO & Co-Founder How do you describe Coolhaus to people you meet for the first time? At Coolhaus, we love all types of food and we like to push the boundaries of traditional dessert by creating unique, sweet-meets-savory ice cream flavors you can’t find anywhere else. We are also excited to be a certified Women Owned business. Who are the key Coolhaus founders and their backgrounds? Natasha Case, current CEO and co-founder and Freya Estreller, co-founder (not currently with Coolhaus, but Natasha's wife). We started baking cookies, making ice cream, and combining them into “cool houses” in 2008. With mutual backgrounds in the design and real estate fields, we began naming our ice cream sandwiches after architects and architectural movements that inspired us – and eventually decided to take our passion (dubbed “Farchitecture,” or Food + Architecture) to the streets of Los Angeles. So after a few days on Craigslist (and some time convincing our families we weren’t crazy), we found and bought a beat-up old postal van, trekked out to the world-famous Coachella Valley Music Festival in April 2009 to make our debut, and, well…the rest is history. How do you differentiate Coolhaus in a very competitive ice cream market? What is Coolhaus best known for? Our adventurous palates have led us to create pint flavors that consistently shake up the freezer aisle. Equally important to our dedication to innovation is our commitment to quality.

People Aged 30-44 Buy the Most Ice Cream Sandwiches
People Aged 30-44 Buy The Most Ice Cream Sandwiches Observed each year on August 2, it is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day. This food holiday is one that will refresh each one of us on a warm summer day with a delicious frozen ice cream sandwich. Click Here For Other Stories And Videos On South Florida Reporter The original ice cream sandwich sold for a penny in 1900 from a pushcart in the Bowery neighborhood of New York. The vendor, who was never identiﬁed in the article printed in papers across the nation, sandwiched the ice cream between milk biscuits. Soon, push carts popped up around the city and country during the summer months selling the portable treats. The modern version of the ice cream sandwich was invented by Jerry Newberg in 1945 when he was selling ice cream at Forbes Field. There are alternatives to the classic ice cream sandwich using chocolate cookies, oatmeal cookies or a rice crispy wafer in place of the original chocolate one. Ice cream sandwiches are known around the world by a variety of names including the Monaco Bar, Giant Sandwich, Maxibon, Cream Between, Vanilla Slice and many more. The 30-44 age group buys the most ice cream sandwiches. The average number of ice cream sandwiches eaten per second nationally is 48. The ice cream sandwich ranks as the second best-selling ice cream novelty in America. If all the ice cream sandwiches made last year were placed end to end, they would circle Earth 3 1/2 times. The eastern seaboard consumes almost 50 percent of all ice cream sandwiches.

The First Known Ice Cream Sandwich Was in 1894 and Used Sponge Cake with Ice Cream Between
The First Known Ice Cream Sandwich Was In 1894 And Used Sponge Cake With Ice Cream Between. On August 2nd, National Ice Cream Sandwich Day encourages us to cool off with one of our favorite frozen treats. Whether it’s vanilla, strawberry or Neopolitan between two chocolate wafers, the dessert sure will hit the spot on a hot summer day. The original ice cream sandwich sold for a penny in 1899 from a pushcart in the Bowery neighborhood of New York. Newspapers never identified the name of the vendor in articles that appeared across the country. However, the ice cream sandwiched between milk biscuits became a hit. Pictures from the Jersey Shore circa 1905 “On the beach, Atlantic City”, show Ice Cream sandwiches were popular at 1c each. The first known record for an ice cream sandwich was in 1894 and used sponge cake with ice cream between. Restaurants offered the ice cream sandwich as a decadent dessert for travelers. By 1940, grocers sold sandwiches made with crispy wafers. Although ice cream sandwiches were made by hand and distributed by New York street vendors in the early 1940s, it wasn’t until 1945 that the first ice cream sandwiches were mass produced. One account claims the modern ice cream sandwich with the chocolate wafer was invented in 1945 by Jerry Newberg. The ice cream maker sold his creation at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, PA. At the time, the storied location was home to the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers. The 30-44 age group buys the most ice cream sandwiches. The average number of ice cream sandwiches eaten per second nationally is 48.
